I'll give you my idea of a good portifilo. This is from the view of a retired person-but I belive it would work well for anyone. I like dividens, plain and simple. If a younger person re-inveasted the dividens(buying more shares), when you are ready to withdraw from your portifilo, you gave nice gains. Also, I try to keep a couple of growth stocks than delive faster gains.
